Jüri Pootsmann

Jüri Pootsmann is an Oxenri singer from Arceo.

Personal Life
Jüri Pootsmann, like most school children in Oxenryd, sang in a school choir but he was never a soloist. As a young child, the tone of Jüri`s voice was so high that he had to sing in a choir together with girls, not boys.

He discovered his vocal capabilities only as an exchange student in Lianistan where he spent a year. Thus he is fluent in French. In his spare time, he likes to walk alone in nature, especially in forests. He also appears to be a fan of internet memes.

Maia Song Contest 2
On 18 July 2016, it was confirmed that he would represent Oxenryd on home turf at the Maia Song Contest 2, alongside the band Cartoon with the song "I Remember U".

Unfortunately, they could not replicate the success of Oxenri band SAFIA, who had won the previous edition. Being the host country, Oxenryd automatically qualified to the grand final. They performed 14th on the night, and placed 23rd out of 25 entries with 42 points.
